Many problems occur when assigning tasks to work centres, especially in determining the required number of workstations for line balancing which requires a minimum theoretical number of workstations. The most common problem is bottleneck. In this paper, a method is proposed to solve floating tasks problem in single-model line when the actual required number of workstations exceeds the minimum theoretical number, and the standard time of the floating task (work center) exceeds the cycle time. The floating task will represent a critical bottleneck activity in line. The proposed method depends on minimizing the standard time of critical bottleneck and non-critical activities by a minimum free-floating time depends on the average of slack times of the non-critical activities, and it will increase the line efficiency from (77%) to (88%), and balance delay is minimized from (23%) to (12%).

This article proposes a new algorithm to discriminate Arabic poems by inserting Arabic poems texts and coding Arabic letters, extracting letters features depending on letter shapes to construct a multidimensional contingency table, and analyses the frequencies of letters in the inserted texts statistically. The proposed coding and discrimination (CODIS) algorithm could be applied for different Arabic texts in any media. A sample of five poems for six poets was examined to implement a CODIS algorithm. A Chi-Square statistic is used to determine the relation between the features and discriminate poems.

This paper proposed a new method for network self-fault management (NSFM) based on two technologies: intelligent agent to automate fault management tasks, and Windows Management Instrumentations (WMI) to identify the fault faster when resources are independent (different type of devices). The proposed network self-fault management reduced the load of network traffic by reducing the request and response between the server and client, which achieves less downtime for each node in state of fault occurring in the client. The performance of the proposed system is measured by three measures: efficiency, availability, and reliability. A high efficiency average is obtained depending on the faults occurred in the system which reaches to 92.19%, availability 92.375%, and reliability 100%. The proposed system managed five devices. The NSFM implemented using Java and C# languages.

In this paper, an approach to reduce manufacturing lead time is presented by using Period batch control system under cellular manufacturing and group technology philosophy (GT). GT consists in finding families of parts with similar characteristics and groups of machines processing the parts in each family. It is a part classification technique which classifying component part families on the basis of either part geometry or processing similarities. Period batch control system is a production planning system that has strongly been advocated for application with cellular manufacturing. It is a simple and an effective instrument in obtaining the benefits of group technology. Large reduction in lead times can be gained from GT philosophy implementation. This reduction provides greater flexibility to respond to variation in customer demand.
